Cao Mingjin sank his body, looking in the direction of the golden sword energy.
"Lan Bu!"
Cao Mingjin stomped on the ground violently, then shot forward. He had no intention of retreating, but instead charged at the golden sword energy!
At the moment the golden sword energy was about to strike, Cao Mingjin's figure suddenly flashed, and he moved half a step sideways, dodging the golden sword energy and heading straight for Bai Ye.
Bai Ye lowered his sword and looked at Cao Mingjin.
A very wise choice!
The Xuanyuan Sword was powerful!
But it was only the Xuanyuan Sword that was powerful, not Bai Ye himself.
Cao Mingjin was not without hope of winning. As long as he could dodge the Xuanyuan Sword's attack and then strike at Bai Ye.
"That's what you're thinking, isn't it?"
Bai Ye slowly grinned, watching Cao Mingjin leap in front of him. As his palms crossed, a large amount of wind erupted, coiling around Cao Mingjin's arms.
Bai Ye suddenly stomped his foot on the ground!
With a roar, a large expanse of flames surged up, engulfing Bai Ye's body and forming a pillar of fire.
Cao Mingjin's fists pounded forward, the constantly rotating wind forming sharp blades that sliced through the flames surrounding Bai Ye.
But…
"Yan Bao!"
The moment the flames dispersed, Bai Ye decisively detonated the scattering flames.
The roar of the explosion sounded, and layers of shockwaves pushed outwards, shattering the wind currents Cao Mingjin had conjured.
Cao Mingjin felt a distinct force surge towards him. His body tumbled in mid-air before landing back on the ground.
On the other side, Bai Ye emerged from the flames and looked at Cao Mingjin, saying, "You didn't think I had no other skills besides this sword, did you?"
As Bai Ye spoke, he raised the Xuanyuan Sword.
He was truly underestimated!
Bai Ye brought the Xuanyuan Sword down in front again, and immediately a sword's cry rang out.
Golden sword energy reappeared, heading towards Cao Mingjin.
Cao Mingjin dared not delay and quickly retreated backward.
To Cao Mingjin, the power of the golden sword energy was terrifying, so terrifying that he didn't dare to take it head-on.
One, two, three?
Cao Mingjin wasn't sure how many golden sword energies he could withstand if he tried to block them directly, but it certainly wouldn't be many.
However, for Cao Mingjin, there was good news: the cutting speed of the golden sword energy was not very fast. With the burst-like instantaneous acceleration of Lan Bu, Cao Mingjin was confident he could evade it.
As Cao Mingjin thought this, wind currents reappeared beneath his feet.
Lan Bu activated!
Cao Mingjin saw his chance and leaped to the side, but…
The next instant…
As Cao Mingjin looked up, he was shocked to discover that Bai Ye had already appeared in front of him.
Burst-like instantaneous acceleration?
Bai Ye was using…
Teleportation!
This time, the moment Bai Ye unleashed the golden sword energy, he didn't stay in place but immediately used teleportation.
The only space Cao Mingjin could dodge into was either the sides of the golden sword energy, or above.
One-third probability!
Bai Ye had bet correctly!
His hand moved, and the sword fell!
Watching Cao Mingjin charge towards him, Bai Ye unhesitatingly swung his sword.
Cao Mingjin's heart leaped in alarm.
At the critical moment, Cao Mingjin suddenly crossed his hands and met the Xuanyuan Sword.
"Huh?"
Strangely, Cao Mingjin's hands didn't touch the Xuanyuan Sword. His crossed hands were on either side of the Xuanyuan Sword, with empty space in between.
Yet, Bai Ye felt as though he had struck something. The Xuanyuan Sword had been intercepted.
Furthermore, Cao Mingjin's face was contorted in pain, clearly resisting with all his might.
As Bai Ye pondered this, he lightly scraped the Xuanyuan Sword. A piercing sound erupted, and Bai Ye then noticed that Cao Mingjin's hands were adorned with rings, and between these rings were near-transparent threads.
Bai Ye couldn't help but grin. He yanked backward fiercely, using a cutting motion to slice through the thin threads.
Almost instantly, the threads snapped. After grazing Cao Mingjin's arms and neck, they left lines of crimson blood.
Cao Mingjin retreated, wiping his neck.
Looking at the scarlet stain in his palm, Cao Mingjin couldn't help but curse softly, then quickly retreated…
Because Bai Ye's Xuanyuan Sword was coming again!
Bai Ye gave Cao Mingjin no chance to catch his breath. He flicked his wrist, and after the Xuanyuan Sword executed a sword flower, it stabbed forward again.
As Cao Mingjin retreated, he rolled up his sleeve, revealing a silver mechanical bracer.
He blocked it in front of him. Immediately, a mechanical whirring sound was heard, and metal plates sprang out from the sides of the bracer, quickly forming a rhomboid metal shield.
Clang!
The Xuanyuan Sword struck down, and a crisp clash of metal ensued.
The sharpness of the Xuanyuan Sword was incredible. With that single strike, a gash was cut directly into the rhomboid shield.
However, it had managed to block it!
Cao Mingjin swiftly sidestepped, and from his other sleeve, a wrist blade shot out, stabbing towards Bai Ye's lower abdomen.
But just as it was about to hit…
Teleportation!
Bai Ye's figure suddenly vanished, then reappeared behind Cao Mingjin, striking again with the Xuanyuan Sword.
Cao Mingjin's reaction was extremely swift. He quickly turned his body and blocked with his wrist blade.
Clang!
A crisp clash of metal sounded again.
But the moment Cao Mingjin blocked the wrist blade, Bai Ye unleashed a powerful sweeping kick, striking Cao Mingjin in the waist.
Flames blazed fiercely, coiling around Bai Ye's leg, and the instant they hit Cao Mingjin…
Yan Bao!
The flames wrapped around Bai Ye's leg exploded.
A massive fireball erupted, shockwaves blasting outwards. Cao Mingjin was instantly sent flying, crashing into the wall beside him.
Then…
Golden sword energy!
Bai Ye raised his hand and swung with all his might.
The golden sword energy shot forward again.
Where the sword energy passed, the ground cracked and exploded.
Cao Mingjin had just caught his breath when the golden sword energy arrived.
Cao Mingjin could only hold his wrist shield in front of him and roar, "Defense Field!"
A near-transparent barrier appeared around the rhomboid shield, increasing the defensive range and enhancing its strength.
But…
The moment the golden sword energy struck the shield, Cao Mingjin still felt immense pressure.
The immense force made Cao Mingjin's arm tremble, and the wrist shield shook and made noise, then…
CRACK!
A sound like shattering glass echoed.
The barrier surrounding the wrist shield shattered, and then, the wrist shield itself was reduced to fragments.
The golden sword energy exploded, and the wall behind Cao Mingjin collapsed, falling outwards. Cao Mingjin was also blown from inside the room into the corridor outside.
